fips.Vector

class fips.Vector(data, name=None, index=None, dtype=None, copy=False)

Bases: MultiBlockMixin, Structure1D

State or observation vector composed of one or more Block objects.

A Vector organizes one or more Blocks (prior, posterior, observations, etc.) into a single hierarchical structure.

Vectors are used to represent the full state or observation space and are the 1D matrix components in the inversion framework.

Parameters:

• data (pd.Series, Vector, Block, Sequence[Block | pd.Series], or array-like) – Data for the vector.

• name (str, optional) – Name for the Vector.

• index (pd.Index, optional) – Index for the Vector. If None, uses data.index. Index must have a ‘block’ level if data is a Series.

• dtype (dtype, optional) – Data type to force.

• copy (bool, default False) – Whether to copy the underlying data.

Attributes

blocks	Accessor for retrieving Block instances from the Vector.
data	The underlying data, which must be numeric and non-NaN.

Methods

to_xarray()

Convert the Vector to xarray.
